Subject: es1968: fix sleep-while-holding-lock bug
From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

snd_es1968_ac97_read() calls snd_es1968_ac97_wait() first outside a locked
area, and later, while holding a lock.

snd_es1968_ac97_wait() has a polling loop with a cond_resched() inside it.. 
which sleeps, so the second call is invalid.

This patch adds a version of the wait function that just pure polls.  While
this is not very elegant in principle, it's very likely the easiest thing to
do here, we already checked if the chip was ready (while yielding) just
before, so it is very unlikely to take a long time here.
